Marty Fielding Presents at Ceramics Symposium

The Red Handed Symposium was a celebration of red clay that took place at The Clay Lady’s Campus in Nashville, TN May 25-27, 2018.

FSU Adjunct Professor Marty Fielding presented alongside fellow artists Amy Sanders, Liz Zlot Summerfield, and Ronan Kyle Peterson. He demonstrated his techniques of construction and surface application while discussing how architecture, painting, and color interaction play into the content of his work as well as lessons learned as a studio artist. Ben Carter, host of the Red Clay Rambler Podcast (and former FSU Visiting Artist) moderated and recorded a panel discussion between the presenters that will be released as an upcoming episode of the podcast. http://www.talesofaredclayrambler.com/
